Horseshoes are centuries-old symbols believed to bring good luck, prosperity, and protection from evil. Identified by its ‘U’ shape which closely resembles the crescent moon, it is associated with the mood goddess who is thought to bring good luck. Horseshoes are commonly made from iron, which is believed to ward off evil spirits, adding an extra layer of protection. Historically, many newly-wed brides received horseshoes as wedding gifts. The gesture was said to bestow love, luck and fertility upon the marriage.
